    Default Ladytron

    I don't know but bloody years ago I bought a vinyl album by a band called Ladytron obviously named after the track by Roxy Music from around 1972. Well a year or two back I cleaned it using a Moth RCM and today got around to playing it. Well, when I say playing it, I got through side one. It sounds like a really cheap tacky version of Metamatic by John Foxx but whereas the Foxx album is synth heaven for some, the Ladytron album is just so poorly produced. The synths are way too loud and the vocals are almost inaudible. Just saying

    Which one is it Shaun? I quite like The Witching Hour but Metamatic is pretty hard to better!

    I very much like Metamatic but can't help but wonder why Mr Foxx insisted on singing about " Underpants "......

    Oh shit, sorry guys, it is called 'Light and Magic' and although I wouldn't say it is shit, it is when compared to Metamatic which I recently bought on vinyl.

    It has the track 'Seventeen' on it which I am led to believe is a bit of a Ladytron classic.
